Company Background
Established in September 27, 1999, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC) is
a Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) wholly owned by the Government of India and is under the
administrative control of the Ministry of Railways (MoR). It is the only entity authorised by Indian Railways
to provide catering services to railways, offer online railway tickets and packaged drinking water at
railway stations and trains in India. IRCTC operates one of the most transacted websites, www.irctc.co.in,
in the Asia-Pacific region. The volume averaged at 25-28 million transactions per month during the five
months ended August 31, 2019. Currently, IRCTC operates in four business segments, namely, internet
ticketing, catering, packaged drinking water under the “Rail Neer” brand, and Travel and Tourism. IRCTC
has also diversified into other businesses, including non-railway catering and services such as e-catering,
executive lounges and budget hotels, which are in line with its objective to build a “one-stop solution” for
its customers. IRCTC was conferred the status of Miniratna (Category-I Public Sector Enterprise) by the
Government of India on May 1, 2008.

September 26, 2019                                                                                                            2

1. Internet ticketing

IRCTC is the only entity authorised by the MoR to offer Indian Railways’ tickets online and its website
attracts a significant number of web visitors on a daily basis. In FY2019, an average of approximately 0.14
crore passengers booked their tickets online for travel on the Indian Railways on a daily basis. Such web
traffic provided IRCTC with opportunities for cross-selling and the possibility to generate revenue through
value-added services. According to CRISIL, annual online train bookings are expected to grow from 28.4
crore in FY2019 to 42.5-43.5 crore in FY2024. IRCTC’s internet-ticketing system is designed and operated
in conjunction with Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS).

IRCTC’s internet-ticketing service has resulted in savings for Indian Railways on its infrastructure such as
buildings, air-conditioning, electricity and furniture. The core value behind its collaboration with Indian
Railways is that instead of customers travelling to the PRS), the PRS should be brought to customers’
doorsteps. At the same time, its website can offer other travel services to passengers who book their tickets
online. The booking of railway tickets through its website is now available 24 hours per day, 365 day per
year, except for a routine daily maintenance from 23:45 hours to 00:20 hours.

IRCTC currently operates one of the most-transacted websites in the Asia-Pacific region with a transaction
volume of more than 2.5 crore per month, and with approximately 0.72 crore logins per day. As of August 31,
2019, it had approximately 5.37 crore active registered users, and during the three months ended August 31,
2019, it averaged approximately 40,000 new user registrations per day. Powered by the increasing internet
penetration in India, 72.60% of total Indian Railways’ ticket bookings were done online through company’s
website/mobile application during the five months ended August 31, 2019. Its continuous growth in Internet-
ticketing has been driven by its improved process for online reservations, which facilitates booking by
various types of credit cards, debit cards, cash cards, e-wallets, UPI and net banking facilities.

IRCTC has implemented a system to automatically select the most efficient travel package to suit customer’s
needs in accordance with the input provided by the customer, which improves the customer’s willingness to
make the purchase. Additionally, with add-on services such as optional travel insurance for rail passengers
since September 1, 2016 and expansion into mobile booking, its products and services are designed to
meet the ever changing needs.

Among the technologies IRCTC use in its internet ticketing operations is the “Next Generation E-Ticketing
System” (NGeT). It first deployed NGeT in 2014 and then upgraded NGeT infrastructure regularly from 2014
onwards with 150 servers. As a result, its capacity to issue internet – ticketing has increased from 7,200
tickets per minute to 24,000 tickets per minute as of June 30, 2019. In 2019, IRCTC launched a new user
NGeT interface that features a more passenger-friendly, clutter-free experience with easier log-in, easier
navigation and more security.

Ministry of Finance, GoI on November 22, 2016 removed the charges levied by IRCTC on passengers
booking railway tickets online - a service charge was levied at a rate of Rs. 20 per ticket for non-AC
classes and Rs. 40 per ticket for AC classes excluding service tax. As part of its mandate, the Ministry of
Finance, by a separate notification on July 5, 2017, proposed to reimburse Rs. 80 crore to IRCTC until the
GoI permitted IRCTC to recover online ticketing cost/levy of commission on passengers utilising the online
ticketing service it provides. The MoR reimbursed the IRCTC Rs. 80 crore and Rs. 88 crore for FY2018 and
FY2019, respectively for its operations costs.

The Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, GoI on July 19, 2019, withdrew the reimbursement
of expenses and advised MoR to work with IRCTC to decide on the charges to be levied by IRCTC on tickets
booked by passengers through its website or applications. Subsequently, MoR on August 5, 2019 has
authorised IRCTC to decide on the service charges to be levied. Accordingly, with effect from September
1, 2019, IRCTC propose to charge convenience fee of Rs. 15 and Rs. 30 on the passengers for the booking
railway tickets online for non-AC classes and AC classes, respectively. For payment made through UPI/
BHIM applications, the convenience fee would be Rs. 10 and Rs. 20 for non-AC classes and AC classes,
respectively. Until the software for UPI/BHIM is developed, payment through UPI/BHIM will be incentivised
by offering prizes through lottery on regular basis.

September 26, 2019                                                                                         3

IRCTC e Wallet: IRCTC offers the IRCTC e-Wallet, which allows users to deposit money in advance with
IRCTC that can later be used as a payment option along with the other payment options it provides to pay
money at the time of booking tickets. IRCTC e-Wallet supports and speeds up internet ticketing for its users
and had 0.84 million registered users as of August 31, 2019. The main objective of the e-Wallet is to improve
its system performance by allowing users to book tickets faster and reduce dependency on banks. Users
will get the benefit of saving precious booking time and service charges. An average of approximately
2,800 tickets were booked each day using e-Wallet during August 2019.

Other technologies: IRCTC also provides a loyalty scheme through a co-branded credit card with SBI Card
Limited and had approximately 0.49 million card holders as of August 31, 2019. Further, to keep abreast of
current market trends, it also provides a mobile application on the Android Platform to its users, which has
attracted more than 50% of its website traffic. Another mobile application on iOS platform is underway.

IRCTC launched an innovative solution based on artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide
quick responses to its users. It helps the website and mobile application visitors by answering their queries
without any time lag and improves customer satisfaction and helps to create competitive advantages, drive
new business opportunities and foster innovation.

The company launched its i-Pay payment gateway on a pilot basis in October 2018. i-Pay is designed to
handle domestic debit and credit cards transactions. The company is currently evaluating its operational
utility and technical capabilities. If successful, IRCTC intends to position i-Pay for use in various additional
market segments in the future.

2. Catering

In FY2003, the catering service of Indian Railways was handed over to IRCTC on an “as is where is” basis
along with its staff, until 2010, where the MoR mandated a majority of these catering services to be handed
back to Indian Railways. With the Catering Policy 2017, the responsibility for the entire catering services on
all mobile units having a pantry car service from Indian Railways, as well as part of static catering services
of Indian Railways has been handed over to IRCTC, and is planning to roll out at least 10 new pantry cars
in Fiscal 2020 once the design is approved by the Indian Railways.

Presently, its catering services are divided into two areas of focus:

Mobile Catering: This business segment involves catering services on trains. These include services on
prepaid trains like Rajdhani, Shatabadi, Duronto, Gatiman, Tejas, Vande Bharat trains and post–paid trains
such as mail express trains having pantry cars, as well as trains without pantry cars which are served by
train-side vending services. A network of base kitchens supports the supply of meals to mobile trains in
accordance with the Catering Policy 2017. IRCTC has identified 54 such kitchen units/stations which supply
food to these trains. 36 out of the 54 kitchen units are existing units to be renovated and modified and the
other 18 kitchen units will be set up on land to be provided by the Indian Railways.

Separately, the IRCTC is managing on-board catering services in 295 pairs of mail express, and 69 pairs of
Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto, Gatiman, Tejas and Vande Bharat trains through licensees awarded by them
or the Zonal Railways.

In September 2015, the MoR issued directions and permitted e-catering services to be offered to all trains
passing through nominated 45 A1 category stations, which later expanded to most of the A1 and A category
railway stations. As of August 31, 2019, e–catering is available at approximately 350 stations and served
by more than 700 food outlets. This, together with the handing over of all catering services on Indian
Railways is expected to significantly increase its revenue generated from catering services.

As part of the Catering Policy 2017, all pantry car service contracts awarded by the Zonal Railways have
been reassigned to IRCTC on the same terms and conditions. The sharing of licence fee between Indian
Railways and IRCTC is in the ratio of 40:60 as agreed with the MoR. As of August 31, 2019, the majority of
food production and services have been unbundled in accordance with the Catering Policy 2017.

September 26, 2019                                                                                            4

IRCTC has been mandated by the MoR to redesign its existing pantry cars with a view to equip them with
modern equipment for ease of cooking and maintaining hygienic standards. In these cases, the revenue-
sharing between IRCTC and the MoR will be in a ratio of 85:15 for a period of 5 years from the date of
commissioning of such redesigned pantry cars.

the MoR. Any withdrawal or adverse changes in government policies may lead to adverse impact on its
on-going business and could, materially and adversely affect its financial condition, capital expenditure,
revenue, development and business operations.

Allowing competition in all or any of its business segments may impact its financial results

Under the Catering Policy 2017, IRCTC benefits from a monopoly in many of the services it provides to
customers. In particular, IRCTC is the exclusive provider of online railway ticketing, catering services and
packaged drinking water for trains and stations. If the MoR was to permit more competition in mobile or
static catering, packaged drinking water or another area in which IRCTC currently has a monopoly , it
could have a significant impact on the way it operates its business, and adversely affects the results of
operations and profitability.

Any failure to adapt to technological developments or industry trends could harm its business

IRCTC depends on information technology to operate its internet ticketing and tourism business and
maintains its competitiveness. The company’s future success also depends on its ability to upgrade its
services and infrastructure ahead of rapidly evolving consumer demands. If IRCTC faces material delays
in introducing new or enhanced solutions, customers may stop using its services in favour of those of its
competitors in business sectors where it is not the only entity authorized by the government to provide
services.

Change in haulage charge principles by MoR on the trains could adversely affect its business

Under the haulage concept, Indian Railways take fixed charges for hauling the rake of the train from
one destination to another. The charges are calculated and informed by the Indian Railways to IRCTC.
Any revision of haulage charge principles by the MoR for the trains it operates under haulage will have
significant impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Valuation
At the IPO price band of Rs. 315-320, the offer is priced at 18.5-18.8x of consolidated FY19 EPS. IRCTC is the
only entity authorized by MoR to provide online railway tickets, catering services and packaged drinking
water at railway stations in India. IRCTC had cash & cash equivalents of Rs. 1,140 crore as on March 31, 2019.
